SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 520,022, dated May 15, 1894.

Application filed December 1892. SerialNo-454fl94. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN A. MARSH, of the city of St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful Im- 5 provementin Autographic Registers, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

[O This invention relates to a machine for counter and office use, that produces a duplicate or manifold copy of an autograph, for order, cash and other registers, with auto matic means for the detachment of said registers, and a simultaneously automatic opening cash drawer, in combination with a recording register, for future reference; and the invention consists in features of novelty hereinafter fully described and pointed out in the claims.

Figure I is a side elevation of the machine, and shows the operating gear and feed wheels, the operative friction hold lever, the trip friction lever, the detaching spring shear knife,

and the cash drawer with its trip spring lock.

Fig. II is a vertical section and shows the manifold rolls that carry the duplicate and registering sheets, which rolls and the sheets they carry may be increased in number; it also shows in broken lines the course of said sheets to and around the turn roller to the friction draw rollers, and the course of the register sheet to its retention register or record roller, and it shows the hinged adjustable supporting bracket back and in broken lines its rear adjusted position and the slide table extended out and resting thereon. Fig. III is a top view and shows the elbow rest slide table, the operative feed gear, the upper friction feed roll, the upper sheet of paper in trcmsz't'a, the clipping shear knife, and the friction band that rotates the register roll. Fig. IV is a front end view and shows the operative gear, the upper draw tension friction rolls, the sheets of paper in trans Zia, the baud wheels and band. Fig. V is a cross detail section, and shows the screw attached end of the forward paper spool spindle, the roller case around the same, the main operative side of the machine, the perforate flange and the operator tube journal that carries the gear, screw attached to said side of the ma chine, the hub and arms of the operating major gear wheel, the spring attachment collar, the actuating double lever, and the adjustable stay, but that arrests the action of said lever and gear. Fig. VI is a vertical detail section taken on line VI-VI Fig. III and shows the sides of the machine, the desk tablet and surmounting sliding table. Fig. VII is a longitudinal view of the square shafted spindle with its pipe core that carries the register spindle, with the pulley mounted on its drive end. Fig. VIII is a vertical section taken on line VIII-VIII, Fig. VII, and shows the square shaft and pipe core mounted thereon, that carries the register spool,with the end of the register sheet. secured in its key-slot in said core. Fig. IX is a longitudinal view of one of the spindles thatcarry the paper spools. 7c Fig. X is a rear end top view of the machine and shows the duplicate carbon papers, with their carrier bars secured in their slotted key seats. Fig. XI is an enlarged detail view of the autograph sheets and carbon papers in 7: their respective positions. Fig. XII is a de- I tail of the attachment end of one of the carbon sheets and shows the attachment clip bar on its end. Fig. XIII is a detail of an attach ment for the friction rolls, and shows a type header pad in the middle of the upper friction roll and with an ink pad roll surmounting the same; and Fig. XIV is a vertical section of the same taken on line XIV-XIV, Fig. XIII.

Referring to the drawings: 1 represents the bottom of the machine, 2 its sides, 3 its front end and 4 its rear end.

5 is the arc drum-head at the front end, the base of which drum-head is pivotally secured to the main frame of the machine by the hinges 6, which allow said arc drum-head to swing respectively open and shut on its hinges. When said drum-head is closed it is secured by the pivoted drop hooks 7 mounted 5 on the spindle 97 in bearing 98 in the sides of the machine and turned by the knob 99 which hooks engage in the screw-eyelets 8, that are secured to and project inward from said are drum-head.

9 represents a hinged end-gate at the rear of the machine, the base of which end-gate is IOO pivotally secured by the hinges to the main frame of the machine.

11 are stationary stay-1n gs that project rearward from the bed of the machine proper, or from the stationary sections of the hinges secured thereto, and 12 are similar lugs that project from the end-gate or from the movable seetions of the hinges attached thereto, so as to be movable therewith, and which latter coming in contact with the lugs 11 limit the back throw of said hinged end-gate, from the normal position shown in full lines Fig. II when a short table is required, to the position shown in broken lines in the same figure when a lengthened table is required.

13 represents the base frame of the machine which is secured to theprojecting perforate lugs 14 of the sides of said machine by the screws 15, that pass through said perforatelugs, through the bottom 1 and into screw perforate lugs 16 that project from the inside of said base frame. 17 represents a cash drawer, in said base frame, the projecting top side flanges 18 of which, are seated and work in the perforate slide brackets 19, which brackets are secured by screws 20,1.hat pass through said slide brackets and engage in their screw perforate seats 21 in the bottom 1 of the surmounting machine.

22 represents spiral push springs that are secured to the inside of the base frame 13 and push against the cash drawer so as to open the same automatically when it is unlocked, and 23 is the handle of said drawer.

24 represents a spring latch lock that automatieally locks the lock drawer whenever it is closed, and which is constituted of the following parts.

25 is a slotted boxing, that is integral with and proj ects from the bottom 1 of the machine proper, in the slot 26, of which boxing the bevel faced bolt 27 of the spring latch works and springs into its socket seat 28 in the front of the drawer when the same is locked. In the slot 29 of the head bar 30 of said latch, the drive point 31 of the spring rocker ful erum lever 32 engages. The said rocker lever is pivoted on the screw journal 33, the screw tip of which is secured in its screw seat in the side of the machine. The curve spring 34 is secured in position by the screw 35, which also is screw-seated in the same side of the machine to which said rocker lever is secured.

36 represents a writing table bearer frame, which is pivotally mounted at its rear by the same hinges 10 on which the rear end-gate is hung to the rear of the base frame, and the lower curvilinear edges 37 of said table bearer frame rest securely on the upper curvilinear edges 38 of the sides of the main frame, when said bearer frame is closed down in its operative position for work, in which position it is firmly held by the hooks 39 mounted on spindles 40 in bearings 40', in the main frame and which hooks engage on the catch pins 41,

that project inward from near the forward end of said writing table bearer frame 36.

42 represents the desk tablet, which rests on the bearer lugs 43, that project from the sides of said writing table bearer frames 36, and also on the cross tie bar 44 that ties together the sides of said bearer frame, as also on the cross tie bar 45, that ties together the top of the sides of the main frame of the machine. The said desk tablet is held from longitudinal displacement by the pendent lugs 46, that project from the under side of said tablet and embrace each side of said tie bar 44.

47 represents holder lugs which are secured to the rear corners of said desk tablet 42, which lugs are provided with forward slots 48 and rear slots 49,in which slots the respective clamp clip holder 50 of the upper carbon sheet 51 and the like holder 52 of the lower carbon sheet 53 are look seated.

Now autographic register slips in some classes of trade are required to be longer than in others, inasmuch as in some trades the average sale to one customer at a given time consists of a larger number of items than in other trades. Therefore I provide diverse lengths of desk tablets, and of carbon-sheets; using such length tablet and sheets as the ne cessities of the trade call for. Each desk tablet has similar pendent lugs that embrace the same cross tie-bar, and rest on the same, or certain of the same supports, when in use. Thus when a change is desired in the length of the desk tablet and carbon-sheets, the ones in use are simply lifted from their seats and those ofany diverse length required are seated in their place.

54 represents three stationary spindles, which pass through perforate bearings 55, in one side of the machine and their screw tips 56, engage in their perforate screw seats 57 in the reverse side of the machine, when turned into their set positions by their handle knobs 58. Three of said spindles have been shown and described, but the number may be either increased or diminished to agree with the number of paper rolls 59, which rolls are mounted on the core tubes 60 that are seated around said spindles. The said cores may be made of wood or of any other suitable material.

61 represents the return roller around which the three (more or less) paper sheets run on their Way to the desk tablet 011 which the autographic impression is to be made. Two of said sheets are the duplicate autograph sheets 62, and the third is a registering sheet 63 for a retention record of the sales. The journals 64 of said roller run in the bearings 65, in the sides of the writing table bearer frame 36.

66 represents the major friction draw roller, the journals 67 of which run in bearings 68 in the sides of the main frame of the machine. Slot boxed pedestals 69 surmount the main frame, with which said pedestals are integral or are securely attached thereto. 70 are vertical slide bearer blocks, that work in said slotted pedestals, and in the perforate bearings 71 of which the journals 72 of the minor friction draw roller 73 are mounted. 7 4; represents screws that are inserted in each end of said slide bearer blocks 7 0, from which they project suificiently for the seating of the operative ends of the overbearing springs 75, the attachment loop eyes 76 of which springs are secured by the screws 77 to the sides of the machine, in which said screws are seated, and bearer pins 78, also seated in said sides, hold down said springs to their tension on the aforesaid screws 74. An elastic pressure is thus maintained by the action of said springs, on said sliding bearer blocks 70 and on the minor friction draft roller 73 that is mounted therein. A friction draw is thus maintained on the three (more or less) autographic duplicate and register sheets, 62 and 63, as they pass between said rollers, which are rotated by the gear drive yet to be described.

are substitute elongated vertical slide bearer blocks, which are substituted for the aforesaid blocks 70, when it is desired to head print the upper autographic sheet. The said slide blocks are not only provided with the perforate bearings 71, as are the blocks 70, but are also provided with upper perforate bearings 79 in which the journals 80 of the ink pad roller 81 have their bearings.

73 represents the substitute combined minor pressure and head type impression roller, which substitute replaces the aforesaid minor pressure roller 73, and its journals run into its vacated bearings 71. 82 represents a'peripheral reduction in the middle of said substitute pressure roller 7 3, in which reduced area, part way round the same, is secured the are formed type plate 83, from which project the type Sat that print the head line or lines of the upper autographic slips. The said type are of a thin formation, so that the impressions they make may not be liable to blur. The projecting pad 85 of the inking roller 81, is slightly shorter than the length of said peripheral reduction 82 of said substitute type roller 73, so as not to ink the pressure ends of said roller, and as is shown in Fig. XIV, once in the course of a revolution said type is automatically inked by pressure against the ink pad. The circumference of said type carrier roller 7 3 is made to accord with the required length of the autographic slip.

86 represents enlarged journal extension ends, integral with the journals 67, of the major friction draw roller 66, which extensions project beyond the journal bearings 68 in the sides of the main frame. 87 is a pinion gear wheel that is fast mounted on that one of said journal extensions that is on the main operative side of the machine, and which pinion is driven by geared connection with the main drive gear wheel 88, that is mounted on the tube-journal 89, the attachment-flange 90 of which tube-journal S9 is secured to that side of the machine by the screws 91 that pass through perforations 92 in said flange and into their screw seats 93 in said side of the machine, so as to form a secure journal bearing mount for said drive gear wheel 88, and for other operative parts yet to be named.

94 represents a gear Wheel that is fast mounted on the reverse enlarged extension end 86 of the journals of the major friction roller 66, to that which carries the pinion wheel 87.

95 is an enlarged extension integral with the journal 72 at one end of the minor friction roller 73, on which extension the pinion gear wheel 96 is mounted, the cogs of which pinion mesh into connection with those of said gear wheel 94, so as to be driven by the same, and to secure a rotary grip action on the autographic paper sheets by said minor friction roller 73, in conjunction with its major drive friction roller 66. 100 represents a pulley wheel that is fast mounted on said enlarged journal extension 95, on which said pinion gear wheel 96 is also mounted.

101 represents a square spindle, the major journal 102 of which is mounted in the perforate bearing 103 in one side of the machine, and its minor journal 104 is mounted in the perforate bearing 105 in the other side of the machine, and is there retained by the key pin 106 inserted in its projecting end, and said spindle carries the retention registry roll 107, which is formed of the aforesaid lower registry sheet 63, that preserves a record of all registered sales.

108 represents a core made of papier-mach, rubber, or other suitable material, having a square, tubular opening 109, within it, which fits securely on the square spindle 101. The said core is provided with a slot 110, that extends the whole length from its periphery to its tubular center. The initial end 111 of the lower registry or undetached retention sheet 63 is secured in said slotted aperture by the key-plug 112. 113 represents an enlarged outwardly projecting extension of the journal 102 of said square spindle. 114 is a pulley fast mounted thereon, and 115 is a traction band that is mounted on said pulleys 100 and 114 and commands unison of movement of the same, so that, as the friction draft rollers 60 and 73 draw the autographic duplicate sheets 62, and record sheet 63 forward after the sale account has been registered thereon, the latter named sheet which remains intact, having its initial end secured in said core 108 of said square spindle 101, it is automatically wound around the same, and thus preserves a permanent record of all registered sales.

116 represents the slide table, the clutch turn edges 117 of whichembrace around the projecting heads 118 on the top of the sides of the machine frame. The position of said slide table is adjustable to accord with the varied length of the autographic bill slips, so

as to the best advantage rest the elbow when in the act of writing. When long bill slips are being written, the end-gate 9 is preferably thrown back on its hinges from the position shown in full line in Fig. II to that shown in dotted line in said figure, when the lugs 12 at the base of said end-gate, will abut against the lugs 11 on the base of the frame, and thus securely hold said end-gate in its backwardly extended position, so as to support the rear end of the sliding table, when it is slid back as shown in broken lines in said Fig. II, or extended to a still farther distance when so required.

119 represents the knife member of the combination shear-knife, which knife is placed with its rear bevel edge up,and its flat face presenting forward, and is there secured by the screws 120 to the frame of the machine adjacent to, or slightly in advance of the friction draw rollers 66 and 73.

121 represents a tube bearer bracket that is secured to the side of the frame by the attachment screws 122, and 123 is the vertical tube bearing in said bracket, that projects from said frame sufficiently for the purpose about to be disclosed. 124 represents a vertical piston-rod, that works freely, having play for latitudinal readjustment in said tube bearing 123, and the enlarged surmounting shoulder 125 of said piston-rod, when in its normal inoperative position, rests on the top of said tube, being held down thereto by the spiral spring 126, that is mounted on the piston rod between the base of said tube bracket, and on the perforate-forked foot 127, on said piston-rod, the pivot-bolt 128 is seated in said foot and carries the anti-friction roller 129, and said foot projects laterally sufficiently from the rod to constitute a base support and vantage ground for said operative spring. 130 represents the forked head that surmounts the shoulder 125 of said piston-rod, the said forks being provided with the perforate bearings 131.

132 represents the shear-blade, which is the secondary member of the combination shear knife 133, the perforate bearing 134, of which shear blade is mounted on the pivot bolt 135, the inner end of which bolt is fast seated in the perforate fiat-head 136, of the aforesaid knife 119, and said shear-blade presents its flat or slightly concave side to clipping contact with the flat or slightly concave side of said knife,the blades of each being beveled on their other sides. The said combination shear-knife is mounted just sufficiently forward of the friction draw or traction rollers, and of the head printing device, that works in conjunction with said rollers, not to interfere therewith. The perforate end of the extension operative lever 137, of said shear-blade, is seated within the forked head in which are the bearings 131 of said head 130, and the operative drive pivot bolt 13S, connects said lever to said head.

139 represents a collar ring which tightly clamps around the aforesaid tube-journal 89,

immediately alongside the main drive gear wheel 88, that is mounted on the same journal, and 140 is a perforate integral lug that projects from said collar, and in the perforation of said lug the inner end of the spiral reactionary spring 141 is fast seated. 142 represents a parallel collar to 139, which collar 142 is loose mounted on said tube journal 89, and 143 is a compound lever integral with said collar 142, the drive operative moiety 144 of which compound lever is surmounted with the pressure knob, 145, the stem 146, of which is fast seated in the socket 147, at the commander end of said lever. 148 represents an attachment angle-hook on the outer end of said spiral reactionary spring 141, which hook engages fast in the perforation 149 in said compound lever, and 150 is a set-screw that is located in its perforate seat in said collar 142, that carries said spring, and which set-screw when screwed home sets said collar in its required position for the respective increase or decrease of the tension of said spiral spring, as also to adjust said pressure knob to its most convenient location for manipulation. 151 represents a laterally and outwardly extending circumferential flange integral with the main gear-wheel 88, that extends laterally into close proximity to said compound lever 143.

152 represents a friction clamp lever, the screw perforate butt attachment 153 of which is pivotally secured to the perforate bearing 154 of the operative moiety 144, of the compound lever 143, by the journal screw 155, that is journal seated in said perforate bearing and screw-seated in said screw perforate butt. 156 is the operative lever end of said clamp, which is surmounted by the pressure knob 157, and 158 is an angle return clamp arm that projects backward from the butt of said pivoted lever, and when in its operative position, its rear end has a friction hold engagement with the inside of said circumferential flange 151 that is integral with the main gear wheel 88. 159 is a strap spring, the perforate end of which is secured by the screw 160, in its screw seat 161, in said compound lever, and the active end of said spring engages with the under side of said clamp lever 156, to enforce its clamp hold of said circumferential flange 151, and thus necessitate' the rotation of said main gear wheel 88, when said compound lever is pressed down. The said enforced action of the gear under the conjoint action of said compound lever (as stated in the description of said gear action), works the aforesaid friction feed rollers that draw the three-ply duplicate and record autographic sheets from their rolls, at each downward pressure of said compound operative lever. On the return movement of said lever,,the knob of the clamp lever is pressed down, which releases its clamp hold of said circumferential flange, and through it of its integral gear-wheel, so that by the return of said lever the gear is not returned nzuwma backward, and the sheets thus are unwound when cutting. 162 represents an adjustable set collar, which collar exercises the double function of holding said operative compound lever to its seat, and carries its integral buttstay elbow arm 103, the abutting end of which, when engaged, comes in contact with the staylug 161 that projects integrally from the face side of said compound lever and limits its spring propelled return action The set-screw 165, when turned home in its screw-seat 166,. in said adjustable set collar, sets the ad justment of said abutting elbow arm, to agree with a respective long or short action of said compound lever, that accords with the required length of the autographic registry bill slips. 167 represents the driven end of said compound-lever, which, when said lever is pressed into the position shown in broken lines in Fig.- I, comes in contact with the anti-friction roller 129 that runs in the foot 127 of the spring piston-rod 124:, and by the p votal connection of the head 130 of said piston-rod, with the operative lever 137 of the shear-blade, the said blade is made to deseend on the duplicate autographic register bill slips or sheets ()2, and thus automatically severs the same, whilc, in the meantime the retention record sheet 68 intact, carrying a duplicate register, is being (as heretofore specified) automatically wound on the retention registry roll 107, to the bed core of which roll its initial end has been, as stated, secured. The vertical piston-rod 124, as stated,

in its introduction has a certain loose side movement in its tube bearing 123, the purpose of which freedom is to enable the slight draw action .of the driven end 167 of said compound lever 1&3 (which has passed the horizon of its center bearing), ,to turn the edge of the shear-blade slightly toward its work close, home against that of the knife blade, and thus to effects cleaner cut. 7 The driven pressure knob end of said compound lever,

at the identical time that it reverses and effects the severance of the bill register, strikes the rearend of the spring rocker lever 32,

whieh,rockin g onits fulcrum bearin g, elevates the lock latch 24: of the cash drawer17, to the When it is preferred, the cash drawer,

', which .is shown in-Figs. land 11'', opening from the side .of the machine, and so described, maybe made to spring propelled from one of the ends of said machine by thesame means, in which case the spring lock may be made to engage with one corner of the rear end of saiddrawer, instead of its front, but the side insertion shown is generally preferable.

-return fold paper combination efthe I have shown, and prefer to use, rolls 59, for the carriage of my registry sheets .62 and 63, but should a block of said sheets at any time be on hand, folded with return folds, in blocks 168, or if from any cause it is preferred to use return fold blocks, said sheets, it being understood, being in triple return fold,

or'thc number of sheets in the return fold of said block agreeing with the number of the autographic sheets required, then,'while nsing said blocks, the rolls 59, with their spindles 54, may be for the time laid 'asideAand the" return fold block 168, is then placed on the bottom .1, inside the machine, as shown in broken lines in Fig. 11. In said modified use, the registry sheets 62 and 63 will respectively passfromthe triple refeld of said block to the return roller 61, in like manner as they pass from the rolls.

are mounted and the return manifold paper blocks, may be either used together in con-- junction or separately; the said duplicate and retention record sheets traveling the same course to the friction draw rollers. When both said rolls and blocks are used,

When, however, the return manifold block is used without the spindle rolls, the sheet 63 should not be cut but its initial end is fastened as previously described to the core that carries said retention record roll and is wound thereon by the means heretofore described.

The operation of the numerous working elements of the machine have been sufficiently described in the introduction of its several parts; but it may be added that when alarger number of autographic sheets than three are used, as when the mile 59 and the multiple used the number of carbon sheets with their holder attachments as described above in also numerically increased.
